Sukeban Deka The Movie (1987)

girl action with political critique and good fight choreography

Sukeban Deka The Movie functions as a epiloque to Sukeban Deka 2, bringing back the beloved characters of the series with better acting on the actresses side, specially Yoko Minamino, who finally blooms as a great actress (far more convincing than in the series...). The movie brings a recurring dilemma of Japanese media until now: an old and traditional generation vs a new and rebellious youth - the main villain is an obvious reference to right wing politicians that flerts with military.

it's a genuinely good watch, filled with action, some mystery and social critique. The direction is vivid, the weight of the story is much more connected to the Sukeban Deka context of the original story and the fight scenes... It actually had GOOD COREOGRAPHY! Not just some clips of playing yoyo on enemies...

A true improvement from the Sukeban Deka 2 series.
